What it is
Fresh sardines, a Moroccan staple, marinated in a potent chermoula sauce – a bright and savory blend of garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, paprika, and generous olive oil. The sardines are then grilled until flaky and lightly charred, offering a naturally keto seafood option rich in healthy fats and protein.
Key ingredients
Fresh sardines, olive oil, garlic, cilantro, parsley, cumin, paprika, salt, lemon juice.
Optional tweaks
Confirm no breadcrumbs are used in the marinade or for breading (common for fried sardines, but not grilled). Request no side of bread, fries, or rice.
Watch out for
Very low carb risk. Ensure no added sugar to the chermoula (uncommon in authentic preparations).
